Decide who will assemble each one of the aquatic communities for which you chose to design seaweeds and water animals. Each person will assemble ONE of the water communities.
You will need to
exchange pictures,

Take all the seaweeds and animals that belong to
the community that you
are working on.
This means that you will
be working with pictures
that your group members
created as well as the
pictures that you made
for this one particular
biome.

Download:Morpheus, athttp://www.morpheussoftware.net/.You can use this program to "morph" your animals from one form to another. The download is free and helpful guides are provided. The program is easy to use.

This title screen introduces the aquatic community that you are working on.

Combine all the plants and animals in your
biome in this slide to make a scene.

Slide
2

Show where your water community is located on the map.

Slide 3

Give more information about the biome.

What conditions do your creatures have to deal with?

Slide 4

This is more about the biome

Do not fill your frame with
text -- use color and images
to add interest.

Slide 5

I had more to say about my
biome here. If you do
not need three frames about
the biome, go on to your
primary producers.

Slide 6

Describe your
primary producers.

These are the organisms
which support the entire
food chain. Tell about
each kind. How have
they adapted to the biome?
How large are they?
How do they reproduce?

This is the
first trophic level.

Slide 7

Here is more information on
my primary producers.
If my biome were a
hospitable one for algae, I
might have a number of
species to describe here.

Slide 8

Describe your
primary consumers.

(You may need to make more than one slide.)

These are the animals that
are directly dependent on
algae and phytoplankton.

Slide 9

Give information about each animal group.
Tell us about the animal's size, what it eats, and how it reproduces.

Add interesting details about its adaptations
and life style.

Slide 10

Continue until you have described all your primary
consumers.

This is the second trophic level.

Slide
11

Now describe your secondary consumers. These animals prey on the primary
consumers.

You are now on the third trophic level.

Slide
12

If you have tertiary consumers, ones who eat the secondary consumers, you have
an additional tropic level.

Slide
13

You need to explain what your pyramid diagram shows. You can do it here or
put the narrative on the same slide as the pyramid diagram.

Final
Slide

Create a food web diagram to show who is eating whom.

If you have another trophic level (tertiary consumers) you need to tell about them as well.

Once you have your
text all laid out, select a background pictures for your slides and add graphics as
appropriate. Attractive
appearance contributes to your
grade, as does demonstration of
understanding of the scientific
concepts involved. You may include additional material if you wish.

Grading
will be for these qualities:

A neat,
complete, attractive, good written introduction,
links work, imagination
and
creativity are evident, good understanding
of evolution demonstrated,
turned in
on time..

Bcomplete,
links work, well thought out,
understanding of evolution shown,
turned
in within a week of deadline.
